Thebearers of this note, representatives of thePskovGubernia Soviet, have so far been unable to obtain thefoodand financial assistance they are so badly in need of.
The situation in Pskov Gubernia (especially owing to the
German invasion;about one-ninth of the guberniahas been
occupied) is desperate. I ask you most earnestly to consider
what extraordinary measures you can adopt to help them,
and to telephone me to talk it over.
